Did I enjoy this book? W-O-W! I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I picked up this book. I can promise you that I did NOT expect to read it in 24 hours. I did not cook, I did not clean, I barely spoke to my children or husband. I was consumed by this story. This story is moving, compelling, relatable, marvelously written . . . I could go on and on.

This book was amazing. I broke down in tears at the end of the book, not because it has a sad ending, just because it was so moving. Fabulous. I cannot say enough good things about this book.

 

 

Would I recommend it? Stop everything that you are doing and read this book. You will not regret a single minute. Don’t bother to finish the book you are currently reading–put it on hold and read this book. So very worth it!!!

 

 

About the book – from Goodreads: From the bestselling author of Trail of Broken Wings comes an epic story of the unrelenting force of love, the power of healing, and the invincible desire to dream.

Nothing prepares Jaya, a New York journalist, for the heartbreak of her third miscarriage and the slow unraveling of her marriage in its wake. Desperate to assuage her deep anguish, she decides to go to India to uncover answers to her family’s past.

Intoxicated by the sights, smells, and sounds she experiences, Jaya becomes an eager student of the culture. But it is Ravi—her grandmother’s former servant and trusted confidant—who reveals the resilience, struggles, secret love, and tragic fall of Jaya’s pioneering grandmother during the British occupation. Through her courageous grandmother’s arrestingly romantic and heart-wrenching story, Jaya discovers the legacy bequeathed to her and a strength that, until now, she never knew was possible.
